Calculate the exact value of 0.5/0.5 * 0.3. Show working please

Sagot :

Answer:

0.3 if you typed the calculating correctly.

because then all operations are of the same priority and ranking, and we go simply from left to right :

0.5/0.5 = 1

and then there is 1 × 0.3 = 0.3

but if you missed to write any brackets like for

0.5/(0.5 × 0.3)

then this goes differently, because now 0.3 is in the bottom part of the division/quotient.

we can still shorten the expression, as the 0.5 on top and on the bottom eliminate each other to 1. but it leaves us with

1/0.3

now, what is 0.3 ?

it is actually 3/10.

so, we have 1/(3/10) which is the same as

(1/1) / (3/10)

to solve this, the two inner numbers of the quotient multiply and the two outer numbers multiply giving us

(1×10) / (1×3) = 10 / 3 = 3.33333...

so, please pick the solution that best fits your actual question.
